Zeiss Axio Examiner Microscope

The A1; D1; Z1 Models

A fixed stage microscope, the Zeiss Axio Examiner is another ofrom the Zeiss family of microscopes featuring trademark flexibility and scalability.

With four upper bodies, two lower bodies, and several optional components, this microscope can be configured for all major imaging methods.

As with the Axio Scope, this model can also accommodate unusually sized specimens by inserting spacers between the upper and lower halves of the scope, removing the condenser and carrier, and lowering the stage.

More room is also created for the user to manipulate the specimen or otherwise use his hands in the specimen area by directing the optical axis through the front objective.

The Axio Examiner.A1 is an entry-level scope that can be upgraded as the need arises while the Axio Examiner.D1 is more advanced with 75mm parfocal objectives. It can be adapted to use regular 45mm parfocal objectives.

The Axio Examiner.Z1 is the top of the Examiner line with motorized upper and lower bodies and the upgraded Zeiss objectives.
